Flip the laboratory and do Physics experiments using your smartphone! Perform your own scientific investigations anytime, anywhere. It records and shows real-time measurements from standard sensors in your smartphone including the accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope in the intuitive gauge mode or in a more scientific chart mode. Using the built-in microphone and speaker, it turns your smartphone into a sound level meter, a sound generator and even a sound spectrum analyzer. You may save and share the sensor data for further analysis.
CloudLabs Converging Lens
Read full descriptionHide full description
This simulator recreates an optical table with a converging lens and two test objects. The goals of this lab are to experimentally find the focal length, radius of curvature, and power of the lens, as well as find the magnification of the image and determine whether or not it is inverted. During the laboratory development you will be able to observe the changes in the size of the formed image, as the distance between the object and the lens is varied.
